A Single Sentence Doubled The Views On My Story

Can you guess what it was?

Hey Beautiful people.

It’s an early Saturday morning and I’m gawking over my Medium stats over coffee.

I exceeded my February goal of $60 last night and I’m overjoyed!

Looking over stats, I noticed something unexpected; a new strategy I was incorporating seemed to be paying off.

My 2 Weeks on Medium stats story got a lot of attention from unexpected places.

A deeper look revealed that much of the attention was coming from Non-members.

Non-members??

We don’t want that now, do we?

I mean, non-member views don’t provide earnings.

However!

The Non-member reads and views almost doubled the attention my story was getting.

More views and a higher read ratio means higher chances to be picked up by the algorithm.

So did all kinds of interactions, which non-members (Grey) were providing as well:

The single sentence that doubled my views?

Non-members can read the story for free here.

That’s it.

A simple line at the beginning of the article, offering my Medium Friend link so that Non-members can read the full story, for free.

I stole that strategy a week ago and incorporated it into all my articles. ( Tyvm Charlie J 🕊️ )

And thank God I did.

Look at the clicks on that:

This is traffic I would miss out otherwise!

Yes, I know 88 views didn’t double my earnings.

But it is significant, and I make the assumption that people who clicked on the link were interested enough to read the whole story.
